Description
The pandemic brought the world to a grinding halt and remote working, or more specifically ‘work from home’ (WFH), became the unlikely saviour.
Remote working is not a new concept for many organisations. However, pre-COVID-19, remote working was relegated to a secondary status, more as an alternative when working under constraints. When choosing to WFH, barring a few exceptional companies, employees were aware of the trade-offs. In normalising remote working, organisations will need to create the ecosystem for it to flourish.
The workshop will focus on how to build trust in remote working. Beginning with understanding trust as a concept, the key takeaways from the session will be as follows:
- Challenges in remote relationship management in the absence of interpersonal connect
- Recognising behavioural manifestation of trust in the work setting
- Transactional versus interpersonal – understand trust from the Indian cultural perspective
- How managers build trust in a remote setting
- How investing in building trust can contribute to inclusion & belonging across diverse identities and representation
